Cataclysm Beta

After 1 847 982 spamm emails, i received the real deal yesterday.700mb base install, followed by a long, long, long download of 13gb. It's still downloading as i write, hopefully i'll have the whole experience later tonight.

I'll post some stuff later, some screenshots and perhaps a video.

Haven't been able to create a Goblin to see how it moves and how are the racials, but i already have a Worgen made and the starting zone looks great.

"Multi-boxing is not in violation of our current policies, Varlex." ...

"Unlike the forms of botting you mentioned, multi-boxing requires user input and does not automate any aspect of gameplay. Each time an action is performed it is controlled by a real player sitting at their computer controlling multiple accounts. "

"It's cool as long as the person's not automating their actions. If paying for five accounts and playin' em simultaneously on one or more your systems capable of running the game or multiple clients thereof is how you roll, then we're not gonna hate on it."

"...you can consider this to be our official stance on the matter. If a player has paid for 5 accounts, then they are allowed to play with them within our own rules, which also includes the allowance of multi-boxing. A player multi-boxing still needs to maintain and gear up five characters, and it does not matter if they do this all at once or separately. Any gold earned while multi-boxing also would also need to be split between these five characters."

"That's perfectly fine, Killerofevil, what you describe is called multiboxing. As long as the person wasn't automating the other character he/she may control as many characters (that he/she is registered to) as they can."
